2 Best Ways to Save Money with your Online Purchases

Postby Wyvh » 06 Aug 2017, 11:54

You probably already heard of those, but most of you don't even use it.. yet; you while after you'll read this. There are 2 main ways to save money while purchasing stuf online, besides checking for the lowest prices on different online stores for a similar article: coupons and promotions.

-- COUPONS
Coupons are usually a serie of characters (numeral-alphabetic) that, once used during your future online purchases (such as Amazon, Priceminister, Nike, etcetera.) will make you save a certain amount of money from the total. Examples: "20% Off $40 In-Store!"; "$25 Off Weekly Rentals" and it goes on.

The best fact about coupons is that there are hard chances that coupons exist for your current online purchases. By searching a little, you're very likely to find a 5% off $X or save 10€ every 100€ worth of purchases. Most of the coupons are either available on the websites themselves, or standalone websites that are fully dedicated to coupons. For you, here's a few of those:

RetailMeNot: With this one, you may have access to some exclusive coupons, as well as common ones. You might want to give it a look everytime you're buying something online. [ https://www.retailmenot.com/coupons/exclusives ]
Groupon: This one lists every stores that offer coupons, so you can easily find yours in a huge list. One of the most easily readable coupons website out there. [ https://www.groupon.com/coupons/stores ]
Brad's Deals: You're very likely to find something that suits your command on this one. [ https://www.bradsdeals.com/coupons ]

Of course, there are hundreds of websites like this that you can find on any search engine. Here are some main keywords: e-coupon online store coupons codes purchases amazon

-- PROMOTIONS
Those ones don't require anything to use during your purchase, but they are very specific. They apply to a certain type of articles within a certain $ value. Examples: "Up to 18% off iPhone and iPad Repair"; "Up to 51% off Facials" and it goes on aswell.

Promotions often are more valuable than coupon codes, but you're less likely to have the articles of your choice under promotion, even though this might happen. Most of the promotions are either available directly on the concerned stores, or via some specific and dedicated websites. Here's a few of those aswell:

Groupon: This one again ! There are several pages that are entirely dedicated to the current promotions all around the world. You might want to give it a look at it seems to be regularly updated. [ https://www.groupon.com/occasion/top-deals ]
Slickdeals: [size=95]My personal favorite. You have both Promotions (deals) and Coupon codes on this one, even though there are more deals than coupons. You have to check it out. [ https://slickdeals.net/deal-categories/ ]

Of course, once again, websites that are dedicated to promotions and coupon codes are countless. Hopefully, this will help you save some money whenever you'll do some purchases online from now.

I like those two ways. They are convenient but they both seem to involve some kind of discount. When it comes to saving money there is something for everyone. There are many ways to save and millions of people who use the opportunities. Another option to save would be bulk purchases. Buying bulk really cuts down on the purchase price. Big companies do it and gain through economies of scale. Some people are members of offline clubs but there are many online sites that offer bulk purchases.

An additional way is cash back offers. This one can really add up because you can buy something and get cash back and leverage up by using a credit card that also has a cash back program! There are even your normal online earning sites that also have a cash back purchase section. You can earn by purchasing through the site and save on the purchase by getting a percentage back in cash. A good friend introduced me to earning online and the sites work well and they are completely legit. Some people only make like $7 per day while others make $1,000 a month. Making money is not only good for your wallet but it can be fun and inspiring.

As you say, coupons and promotions are definitely the two best ways to save some money while we purchase something online. I always use it when I get that opportunity.

@Happyland: Didn't know about those, thanks for sharing. About cashback, It's either illegal or not done in my country though. :/
@raaman: Same here ! Haven't bought anything in ages without having used a coupon code. The savings must be around $300, if not $400.

I did find french online stores on english websites, so you might find South Africa ones aswell.. even though it's probably not as common.

The further I gone with the coupons are the ones from the Mc'Donalds, but then we have learned that some things are better in smaller quantities. :lol:

Using price comparison tools like pricegrabber is also a good option to save some money in online purchases. These tools compares the current price of the product with various retailers and shows the sellers with cheaper price. It always saves few cents or dollars depending on the price of the product.

I love a good promotion. I don't use coupons very often, since I have trouble finding ones that are useful to me. If you can find good ones, that's great.
